It was early 1998 when an open scientific & objective performance appraisal system for all executives & officers was introduced with an aspiration to bring a culture of Meritocracy & Pay for performance In all matters of promotions, salary raises, career planning & development throughout the bank. The whole appraisal process has been divided into two categories.
1. Appraisal by Objective (ABO): Results/achievements of individual employee are
compared with the respective objectives/targets mutually agreed upon in the beginning of the year between the supervisors and the employee.
2. Appraisal by Ability (ABA): it concerned with subjective evaluation of Ability based on
Key factors like job knowledge, communication skills, interpersonal effectiveness, initiative & flexibility. The ultimate objective of appraisal system is to bring pay for performance culture in the process or organizational development. Appraisal interview is taken by the department head only. Progress report is in the hands of the department head. Yearly appraisal of the employee is done within June - July. Appraisals are done yearly but they can also be done at any time of the year by the department head on the basis of employees marvelous performance. There are two types of performance appraisal method used by the NBP. Graphical rating at NBP: Through the graphical rating scale the head of the department rates the person according to the performance of his work, skill, knowledge, experience & also on his performance in the training programs. After the assessment according to the rating scale he rates the employee. 360 Degree Feedback at NBP: Upward feedback is done by 360 degrees i.e. information is collected all around an employee from his or her supervisors, subordinates, peers & customers.

Motivation:
As we know NBP is highly aware of how to motivate its employees in the best way. This can be judged by the enthusiasm and good spirit that people show in
5
performing their jobs. There is a well-devised system that MOBILINK follows for the purpose of motivation. It includes both financial and non-financial rewards along with the major motivators and dissatisfies. The bank recognizes the importance of making people drive towards their goals and the basic step towards this is made through recognizing the value of importance that the bank gives to its employees. NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN has a set of financial rewards, medical, dental, vision and life insurance, retirement plan, educational refund assistance, paid vacation days, family and work life balance benefits and profit sharing plan, Annual bonus opportunities, bank cars etc. other ways in which employees are motivated are: 1. Employees are safe in knowing that they will be rewarded for any exceptional work. This reward is not only monetary. It is accompanied by the employee being given recognition and greater empowerment. Employees are given a very beautiful and healthy work environment. Special attention is given to make the physical environment most productive. This is why NBP offices are considered to be the best decorated and organized. As we know NBP has a desire to promote the high achievers from within the bank. Positions are given on merit and are transparent and fair in nature. There is no special treatment. Therefore each employee knows that he can aim for the top and actually get there. This has proved to be a great source of motivation for the employees of NBP.
Motivational factors
NBP is a leading telecom bank and all the employees working there feel pride in affiliating them with the organization. Its the biggest intangible motivational factor. Affiliating with organization, employees are self motivated to work and loyalty comes from within. However they have other factors too. They believe in praising the good work done by employees and reward them on that. Reward may be tangible or intangible. They also arrange parties in which star performers are highlighted. Also they have informal meetings after performance evaluation and supervisors, subordinates, colleagues talk about their success and are motivated through intrinsic factors. Delegation of authority and empowerment re the tools which they use to motivate employees and that is how they keep up the good work. www.quickmba.com
Productivity: Organizations can experience an increase in productivity with motivated and happy workers. According to Management Study Guide, providing workers who have the abilities and skills to perform a job with the desire to perform the job increases productivity for the company. Companies that recognize a worker's efforts also encourage the employee to meet and exceed productivity expectations. Employee Loyalty: Strategies to improve workplace satisfaction include employee development programs such as education assistance and training. The manager or supervisor can set development goals for the worker during an employee evaluation. Goals and training encourage a worker to reach his career goals and aspirations. Companies invest in an employee through recruiting, hiring and training, but the investment is lost if the worker leaves for another organization. Retention and loyalty help the organization reach its goals by reducing the cost of hiring new employees. Companies that promote from within and offer recognition for superior performance enhance the satisfaction a worker feels on the job. Reduced Absenteeism: Workers often feel less motivated to show up for work every day when the company does not recognize accomplishments or use programs to develop the careers of its employees. Absenteeism results in a loss of productivity, which has a cost for the organization. Motivated workers look forward to going to work every day and meeting the goals of the organization as well as their own personal career goals. Quality: Motivation and employee development programs can include quality improvement teams or groups. A quality improvement team allows the worker to participate in scrap reduction or quality improvement projects. The motivational programs create a team atmosphere in the organization as well as improving the quality of the work.

Safety Needs Once physiological needs are met, one's attention turns to safety and security in order to be free from the threat of physical and emotional harm. Such needs might be fulfilled by: Living in a safe area, Medical insurance, Job security. Financial reserves According to the Maslow hierarchy, if a person feels threatened, needs further up the pyramid will not receive attention until that need has been resolved. Physiological Needs Physiological needs are those required to sustain life, such as: Air, Water, Food. Sleep According to Maslow's theory, if these fundamental needs are not satisfied then one will surely be motivated to satisfy them. Higher needs such as social needs and esteem are not recognized until one satisfies the needs basic to existence.
job security.
c. Social Needs: Create a feeling of acceptance, belonging, and community by reinforcing
team dynamics.
d. Esteem Needs: Recognize achievements, assign important projects, and provide status to
creativity, and progress according to long-term goals. However, not all people are driven by the same needs - at any time different employees may be motivated by entirely different factors. It is important to understand the needs being pursued by each employee. To motivate an employee, leadership must be able to recognize the needs level at which the employee is operating, and use those needs as levers of workplace motivation. www.scribd.com
Scientific management:
An early 20th century school of management thought concerned primarily with the physical efficiency of an individual worker. Scientific management is based on the work of the US engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) who in his 1911 book The Principles of Scientific Management laid down the fundamental principles of large-scale manufacturing through assembly-line factories. It emphasizes rationalization and standardization of work through division of labor, time and motion studies, work measurement, and piece-rate wages.
Management styles:
1. Autocratic managers like to make all the important decisions and closely supervise and control workers. Managers do not trust workers and simply give orders that they expect to be obeyed. This approach derives from the views of Taylor as to how to motivate workers and relates to McGregors theory X view of workers. This approach has
10
limitations (as highlighted by other motivational theorists such as Mayo and Herzberg) but it can be effective in certain situations.
2. A democratic style of management will put trust in employees and encourage them to
make decisions. They will delegate to them the authority to do this and listen to their advice. This requires good two-way communication and often involves democratic discussion groups, which can offer useful suggestions and ideas. Managers must be willing to encourage leadership skills in subordinates. The ultimate democratic system occurs when decisions are made based on the majority view of all workers. However, this is not feasible for the majority of decisions taken by a businessindeed one of the criticisms of this style is that it can take longer to reach a decision. This style has close links with Herzbergs motivators and Maslows higher order skills and also applies to McGregors theory Y view of workers.
3. Paternalistic managers give more attention to the social needs and views of their workers.
Managers are interested in how happy workers feel and in many ways they act as a father figure they consult employees over issues and listen to their feedback or opinions. The manager will however make the actual decisions (in the best interests of the workers) as they believe the staff still needs direction and in this way it is still somewhat of an autocratic approach. The style is closely linked with Mayos Human Relation view of motivation and also the social needs of Maslow. www.docstoc.com
